Seventeenth Party

[elementoflol]

[Pinkie had received a special gift from the castle at Christmas - unfortunately, said gift had spent most of the last month under her bed, being too shy to come into the castle populace at large.

In order to try and remedy this and show Gummy that there was no need for fear, Pinkie had (logically...) decided to dress herself in an alligator costume as encouragement. Anyone walking through the lobby today would see the peculiar sight of a small pink pony dressed in a green costume, with a small (and slightly dopey looking) baby alligator stood by her side.]

See, Gummy? The lobby is a super fun place for alligators to alligate!

[and she'll gingerly pet the alligator with a hoof]

Perhaps it is working; he does not seem very scared to me.

[or..much of anything, really.]

[elementoflol]

That's because he really likes you!

[Apparently.]

[doublethefun]

I see. [Kinda.

Well, he's not running away screaming so it sorta counts.]

How didst thou come by this Gummy?

[elementoflol]

He's my pet in Ponyville, he came here at Christmas, but he's been hiding under the bed.

[doublethefun]

[oooh.

...Wait.]

Christmas?

[elementoflol]

It's what the humans call Hearth's Warming Eve.
